Morning talk


The life of an entrepreneur is not easy,to tell you the truth.There's nothing to hide about that-as much as some who would smugly claim that you can earn money while in your night clothes and still have the time to hang out every night with their friends, I firmly say,they are lying.Maybe there are but only a few.

But I must be frank with you,the life of an entrepreneur, is indeed, not easy.It's hard and it requires pure determination and strong will for you to succeed in this field. Sometimes I hear, when there are a few who wish to try out business and failed. Who did they put the blame on? The products. Now, I must say they are wrong. A true businessman is a salesman. Regardless of whatever product you have to sell,it's not about the product.It's about selling and it's your responsibility to make sure people buy your products.

And I must also add in that, there will be times,or most of the time,you will feel alone in your journey towards success. Yes, I don't deny that because not many who were you close friends before, would stick with you through the thick and thin of the journey.No.But don't worry,always constantly motivate yourself that what you're doing is for yourself,your loved ones and your reason for being alive in this life. The faster you discover your reason for existing,the sooner it is you will work harder to achieve your life goals.

As for me, I'm doing it for my family, for my loved ones, for my own family later so that I can give a proper life to my children and wife as well as leaving behind a legacy they can be proud of- to inspire people towards success.Remember this, that whenever you feel alone, reflect these words over and over again.

You will feel like giving up, losing hope and there will be people around you who will try to demotivate you but keep on fighting.The fight does not stop until you say so,remember that. Set out your goals as clearly as possible. After you're done with that, figure out how you're going to achieve them. Draft out a proper planning,step by step. Eventhough life is known to be full with surprises and your planning might not seem relevant,a proper planning is important to ensure you don't get lost along the way.

For example, myself. I've always wanted to pursue the food industry business-opening up fast food restaurants, opening up factories to process the foods,logistics business and the list goes on. But who would've thought that now I'm in charge of leading a leech-based company? And although I'm in this industry at the moment, that doesn't mean I will not pursue the food business. In fact, this is good for me as well as it can provide me with the right experience - to lead a company and the people in it. Build up your experience.

Apart from that, there are some who claimed that I'm lucky.I'm lucky to have met my partners in the leech company, I'm lucky to have entered University of Malaya at the first place and I'm lucky because I was elected as the President of SIFE of my university. I'm sorry,but I beg to differ.

I believe, through constant hard work and the spirit of never give up helped me getting here. I'd take it as a compliment when people say I'm lucky.Thank you.But if you constantly pursuing what you love doing,never falter and keep on going forward towards your dreams, that you would automatically become a magnet to success.Believe me,this always works.

Just a morning talk.I hope I helped.
